The former President Obama environmental advisor said he’s particularly troubled by Trump’s positions on the North Korean nuclear threat, climate change and racial issues.

“You can recover from bad health care policy,” Jones said. “You can recover from differences over tax policy or an infrastructure package. You can even recover as a country, if not as a family, from bad immigration policy.

“It’s hard to recover from a race war, a nuclear war and catastrophic climate disruption,” he added.

Jones said Trump would be wise to cut ties with three top members of his administration who have links to the alt-right: Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka and Stephen Miller.

The CNN personality noted that he himself resigned from the Obama administration after the revelation that he once signed a 9/11 “truther” petition (he claims he was duped into doing so) created a “distraction” for the White House.

And despite the seemingly widening racial fault lines in the U.S., Jones said he remains hopeful.

“Eventually, this fever will break,” Jones said. "It may take longer than we want. The cost may be higher than anybody wants to bear...But the American people are better than this and eventually that fact, if we work hard, will win out.”
